SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 678,803, dated duly 16, 190i.

- Application filed January 19,1901. Serial No.431927. (No model.)

T0 all whom 11' may concern:

Be it known that I, EDMUND VAN HAANEN, a citizen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, residing at Vienna, Austria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for the Production of a Continuous Current in Regular Pulsations; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of the present invention is a device serving to produce pulsations of a continuous current of which the maxima of tensions occurring in quick consecutive succession are higher than the tension of the current generated originally.

The device consists, essentially, in the application of a condenser with variable sparkproducer being in a shunt-circuit of the linecircuit, including an adjustable resistance.

The apparatus is shownv diagrammatically in the accompanying drawing and consists of a series of metal plates d a a', separated by insulating-plates b h o. The second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and so on of said metal plates are connected to the ground at E, while the intermediate metal plates are connected in series in a circuit, and the last of the same is in communication with the line-circuit m by means of a spark-producer c c. The line-circuit is connected to the source of electricity s by means of the rst plate a, including the adjustable resistance r. B y means of the aforesaid connections one part of the continuous current goes directly into the line-circuit fm, while another part of the current is used to charge' the condenser and to reinforce the part of the current going directly into the line-circuit at larger or smaller intervals, according to the distance of the terminals c c of the spark-producer. It is self-evident that with the space of the intervals the maxima of tensions are increased. The resistance r 'being directly in the line-circuit is also made adj ust-able, so that the proportion of the current going directly into the line-circuit may be varied at will with respect to the current employed to charge the condenser.

I-Iaving thus fully described my invention,- what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, isl- A device for producing pulsations of a continuous current of which the maxima of tension produced in quick succession are higher than the tension of the current generated orignally,said device consisting of a condenser being in a shunt of the line-circuit, the latter being provided with an adjustable resistance, and the shunt-circuit being provided with a variable spark-producer.

In testimony whereof I afIiX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

EDMUND VAN I-IAANEN.
